Meet the Team
It all started..
It began when two Marketing Directors had an idea to create a network of peers. More than that, they wanted to create a space where like minded individuals could mix and mingle without competition or barriers and focus on community . Dedicated to creating meaningful connections, Eastside Social was born.
Let’s Get Social!
